Heuchera 'Palace Passion'

The ever popular Coral Bells (Heuchera 'Palace Passion') is the perfect addition to any garden. This evergreen, vibrant perennial grows 24-30in tall and wide and produces clusters of magenta, bell-shaped flowers in late spring and early summer. It thrives in sun to part shade, in moist, well-drained soil, with deadheading of faded blooms in summer. If left unpruned, they will quickly spread, making tidy mounds of foliage. Its glossy, scalloped leaves offer an array of bright colours, from deep purple, to chartreuse and bronze. A low-maintenance, easy to grow plant, they even tolerate drought and heat. A stunning addition to any garden!

watering

Coral bells, or Heuchera 'Palace Passion', require regular watering to remain healthy and vigorous. When watering, use lukewarm water (ideally rainwater) and water until the soil is damp, but not soggy. The frequency of watering will depend on your climate and the season - in warm weather, they will require more frequent watering than in cool weather. Generally, water your coral bells every 2-3 days in spring and summer and every 4-6 days in fall and winter. Make sure the soil is always moist, but never saturated, to keep the plant healthy.

sunlight

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Palace Passion') prefer bright, indirect sunlight, and should be placed in a spot that gets at least 3 to 4 hours of sunlight a day. They should be sheltered from intense afternoon sunlight, which can burn the delicate foliage. In the spring and summer months, the optimal time for exposing coral bells to sunlight is between 9am and 3pm. In the autumn and winter, however, it is best kept to 2-3 hours of exposure per day between 9am and 11am.

pruning

Coral bells (Heuchera 'Palace Passion') are a low-maintenance, evergreen perennial plant ideal for the shade garden. Pruning should be done annually to maintain a neat and compact appearance. Generally, Heuchera should be pruned in early spring, just as new growth begins to appear. Remove any old, dead, or damaged foliage with a pair of pruning shears, and shape the plant by cutting back the longest stems. Pruning should also remove any diseased or damaged foliage. Regular pruning will help encourage new growth and provide more compact, healthy plants.
